- EARLY MATURING - In Pennsylvania Jersey
heifers freshening as senior yearlings are making
records over 13,000 lbs. milk on their first lactations. A
Pennsylvania heifer fresh at 2-1 recently finished a
record of 18,467 lbs. milk and 911 fat in 305 days.
LONG LASTING - The Jersey’s size and agility
keeps her in the herd longer. A Pennsylvania Jersey is
finishing a lactation started at 13 years, 4 months
which will give her a lifetime production to date over
155,000 lbs. milk, 8000 lbs. fat - due to calve shortly.
PROFITABI-F.- Jersey dairymen make more money
with less investment than most dairymen. Jersey
herds have less capital investment, less acreage, less
expensive labor. Top herds in Pennsylvania average
over 12,000 lbs. milk, 600 lbs. fat, $BOO to $llOO over feed
costs. Jersey cows efficiently produce higb<solids milk,
worth up to $2.00 per cwt. more than standard milk.
PROLIFIC - Jersey cows settle easily, calve regular
ly. Jersey bulls are popular for breeding first-calf
heifers of larger dairy and beef breeds due to ease of
calving.
enjoyable - Lovely to look at, easy to handle,
Jerseys are popular in the show ring and as 4-H pro
jects as well as in the commercial dairy herd.
